New Rise Feature: Tin Can API (xAPI)
Dear Ashley,
Thank you very much for the update!
I have a question: since it is technically possible for a learner to mark lessons as completed, without actually watching them (exception: quizes), then to which extent is the collected data on learner's experience accurate?
If each lesson (I suppose) can be tracked with TinCan, (so we can have a data on how a learner interacts with a course), then we will never can collect a realistic data via TinCan, whether a user has watched it.
What is the purpose of this feature, to be able to mark lessons as completed, without actually watching them?
Thank you very much!

Hi Irina, I think you are referring to the Rise feature that lets users mark lessons complete as documented here:
https://articulate.com/support/article/Rise-Allow-Learners-to-Mark-Lessons-CompleteThis feature lets learners mark unfinished lessons complete in a Rise course if they're already familiar with some of the topics. If you need to make sure that users really watched all your content, I would recommend that you leave the feature disabled.
